After throwing a punch, the pair allegedly wrestled on the ground before the officer was able to arrest the teenager.
She was wanted on a warrant. The officer received bruising to the side of her face and a cut to her cheek.
The teen has been charged with serious assault of a police officer and is expected to appear in Hervey Bay Magistrates Court on February 8.
